Deng JinJie saved a family of three from drowning. However, he disregarded his personal safety and drowned instead. Instead of helping, the family of three left him to struggle claiming it was 'none of their business'.

This happened in Loudi City Sunshuihe Park, China.

Deng JinJie 27, ran out of strength and was soon swallowed by the rapid river and drowned. Just as Deng Jinjie’s life was in danger the rescued family of three chose to leave.

A witness says:

"When the crowd stopped the family of three from leaving, the woman said 'none of my damn business' before driving away.

"What makes people bitterly disappointed is that, just as Deng Jinjie was in danger and whether he was alive or dead was unknown, not only did the family of three that he rescued not actively try to help, they also didn’t stick around to see what would happen, instead indifferently choosing to leave."

He knew the risks, he accepted the possibility of the consequences. The family had themselves to take care of now. Sure, it's heartless, but you make exceptions when it comes to your family. Morality just doesn't apply when you're protecting a family

Uh, if it wasn't for that man then there wouldn't even be a family to protect.

It's cold, sure, but you can't be weak in front of your family either.

Thats a very vague statement. If morality doesn't apply when you've got a family, then that druggie who murdered other people to get more money for drugs and to pay his X-wife is ok in your book? Think about it, what If someone murdered your family to save there?

You went full retard.

How is helping your fellow man (a man who just fucking saved your family, btw) being weak? And why is appearing weak a bad thing? You clearly don't know jack shit about families and lack any kind of empathy. You're just perpetuating the image of the 'I MUST BE STRONG BECAUSE I'M THE ONLY THING THAT HOLDS MY FAMILY TOGETHER' father, and a pretty distorted one at that. This is exactly the kind of reasoning that makes people be so shitty to eachother, everyone just cares about themselves.

It's cold, sure, but you can't be weak in front of your family either.

Weak in front of your family? By saving someone who is the only reason you're there? The only weak thing to do is to abandon someone like that. That is the weakest thing you can do. How do you not see that?

Morality doesn't apply? Yes it fucking does. Keeping the mentality of selfishness that this obviously is in the spirit of is not a good thing and doesn't excuse their actions.

There have been many documented cases where a Chinese Good Samaritan was severely punished for helping a stranger in need. The story commonly goes something like this: someone witnesses an elderly person take a hard fall. They help the person up, and maybe takes them to the hospital him or herself. Afterward, the Good Samaritan is sued, taken to court, and loses. A recent China Daily article (on the Foshan incident) mentions the most recent case of this happening: In June 2011, Xu Yunhe was ordered by a court in Tianjin to pay an elderly woman he had helped more than 100,000 RMB. In these cases, the court rules in favour of the victim, citing that it was likely that the other person was guilty (even with no evidence to support this) because his behavior of being a Good Samaritan obviously went against common sense.?

That's not to say that it's not horrible but one must take into account the circumstances and the culture this instance happened.

I guess that makes sense, if everyone in China is a dick and your being good by helping someone they must think your crazy seriously though that's insanely stupid, I don't even know why anyone bothers to help people there then if that's the case

It's cold, sure, but you can't be weak in front of your family either.

"That man just saved my family's life, and now it's my chance to save him... but little Billy's shirt is wet, now I have to go home and dry him off. Sorry bro, it's you or the shirt."
Go fuck yourself.
I sincerely mean this.
Go fuck yourself.
You piece of shit.
